Hands-on Exercise 4: Calibrating Hedonic Pricing Model for Private Highrise Property with GWR Method

Overview

This is a hands-on exercise based on Chapter 6 of R for Geospatial Data Science and Analytics by Dr. Kam Tin Seong and is a requirement under the class ISS624: Geospatial Analytics and Applications.

In the last exercise, we formed clusters and observed different patterns in the variables which defined each cluster. However, do we know the relationship between these variables?

The Analytical Question

How are prices determined? Hedonic pricing is a model that identifies price factors according to the premise that price is determined both by internal characteristics of the good being sold and external factors affecting it. This is often used in the field of real estate to estimate property values. In this exercise, we determine to what extent certain structural and locational variables affected the resale prices of condominiums in 2015.

The Main Concept: Geographically Weighted Regression (GWR)

Geographically weighted regression (GWR) is a spatial statistical technique that takes non-stationary variables into consideration (e.g., climate; demographic factors; physical environment characteristics) and models the local relationships between these independent variables and an outcome of interest (also known as dependent variable). In this exercise, we use GWR methods to build hedonic pricing models.

Geospatial Data Wrangling

Importing the Geospatial Data

The geospatial data used in this hands-on exercise is called ‘MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL’ which is in ESRI shapefile format. It defines the URA Master Plan 2014’s planning subzone boundaries. Polygon features are used to represent these geographic boundaries. The GIS data is in the ‘SVY21’ projected coordinates system.

The code chunk below is used to import ’MP_SUBZONE_WEB_PL’ shapefile by using st_read() of sf packages.

Press to toggle code

mpsz = st_read(dsn = "data/geospatial", layer = "MP14_SUBZONE_WEB_PL")

Updating CRS Information

Since the simple feature object ‘mpsz’ does not have EPSG information, the code chunk below updates the newly imported ’mpsz’ with the correct ESPG code (i.e. 3414).

Press to toggle code

mpsz_svy21 <- st_transform(mpsz, 3414)

The code chunk below uses st_crs() to verify the newly transformed ’mpsz_svy21’ has EPSG set to 3414.

🔎 OBSERVATION!

The figure above reveals a right skewed distribution. This means that more condominium units were transacted at relative lower prices.

Since distribution for 'SELLING_PRICE' is skewed, we need to normalize it. In this case we use log transformation. The code chunk below uses mutate() to apply the log() function to the 'SELLING_PRICE' column.

Drawing Statistical Point Map

Lastly, we want to reveal the geospatial distribution condominium resale prices in Singapore. The map will be prepared using the tmap package.

First, we will turn on the interactive mode of tmap by setting tmap_mode() to “view”.

Press to toggle code

tmap_mode("view")

Next, the code chunks below is used to create an interactive point symbol map.

Press to toggle code

tm_shape(mpsz_svy21)+
  tm_polygons() +
  tm_shape(condo_resale.sf) +  
  tm_dots(col = "SELLING_PRICE",
          alpha = 0.6,
          style ="quantile",
          palette = "RdPu") +
  tm_view(set.zoom.limits = c(11,14))

The dots shown in the map above represent the condos.

Now we need to set tmap_mode() back to “plot” for future use.

Hedonic Pricing Modelling in R

Simple Linear Regression Method

First, we build a simple linear regression model by using 'SELLING_PRICE' as the dependent variable and 'AREA_SQM' as the independent variable. The code chunk below uses lm() to fit the linear model.

Press to toggle code

condo.slr <- lm(formula = SELLING_PRICE ~ AREA_SQM,
                data = condo_resale.sf)

The code chunk below uses summary() to view information on the model.

Press to toggle code

summary(condo.slr)

Call:
lm(formula = SELLING_PRICE ~ AREA_SQM, data = condo_resale.sf)

Residuals:
     Min       1Q   Median       3Q      Max 
-3695815  -391764   -87517   258900 13503875

Signif. codes:  0 '***' 0.001 '**' 0.01 '*' 0.05 '.' 0.1 ' ' 1

Residual standard error: 942700 on 1434 degrees of freedom
Multiple R-squared:  0.4518,    Adjusted R-squared:  0.4515 
F-statistic:  1182 on 1 and 1434 DF,  p-value: < 2.2e-16

The output report reveals that the 'SELLING_PRICE' can be explained by using the formula:

\[ y = -258131.1 + 14719x_1\]

The \(R^2\) of 0.4518 reveals that the simple regression model built is able to explain about 45% of the resale prices.

Since p-value is much smaller than 0.0001, we will reject the null hypothesis that mean is a good estimator of 'SELLING_PRICE'. This will allow us to infer that simple linear regression model above is a good estimator of 'SELLING_PRICE'.

To visualize the best fit curve on a scatterplot, we can incorporate lm() as a method function in ggplot’s geometry as shown in the code chunk below.

Press to toggle code

ggplot(data=condo_resale.sf,  
       aes(x=`AREA_SQM`, y=`SELLING_PRICE`)) +
    geom_point(col = "#cb6a82") +
    geom_smooth(method = lm, col = "#704276")

The figure above reveals that there are a few statistical outliers with relatively high selling prices.

Multiple Linear Regression Method

Before building a multiple regression model, it is important to ensure that the indepdent variables used are not highly correlated to each other.

Correlation matrix is commonly used to visualize the relationships between the independent variables. Beside the pairs() of R, there are many packages support the display of a correlation matrix. In this section, the corrplot package will be used.

The code chunk below is used to plot a scatterplot matrix of the relationship between the independent variables in ’condo_resale’ data frame.

Press to toggle code

corrplot(cor(condo_resale[, 5:23]), 
         diag = FALSE, order = "AOE",
         tl.pos = "td", 
         tl.cex = 0.5, 
         method = "number", 
         type = "upper")

Matrix reorder is very important for mining the hidden structure and patterns in the matrix. There are four methods in corrplot(parameter order), named “AOE”, “FPC”, “hclust”, “alphabet”). In the code chunk above, AOE order is used. It orders the variables by using the angular order of the eigenvectors method suggested by Michael Friendly.

From the scatterplot matrix, it is clear that ‘Freehold’ is highly correlated to ’LEASE_99YEAR’. In line with this, it is wiser to only include either one of them in the subsequent model building. As a result, ‘LEASE_99YEAR’ is excluded in the subsequent model building.

Press to toggle code

ols_plot_resid_fit(condo.mlr1)

The figure above reveals that most of the data points are scattered around the 0 line, hence we can safely conclude that the relationships between the dependent variable and independent variables are linear.

Test for Normality Assumption

Lastly, the code chunk below uses ols_plot_resid_hist() of olsrr package to perform normality assumption test.

Press to toggle code

ols_plot_resid_hist(condo.mlr1)

The figure reveals that the residual of the multiple linear regression model (i.e. condo.mlr1) is resemble normal distribution.

If you prefer formal statistical test methods, the ols_test_normality() of olsrr package can be used as shown in the code chunk below.

Press to toggle code

ols_test_normality(condo.mlr1)

Kolmogorov-Smirnov        0.1366         0.0000

Anderson-Darling         67.9551         0.0000 
-----------------------------------------------

The summary table above reveals that the p-values of the four tests are way smaller than the alpha value of 0.05. Hence we will reject the null hypothesis and infer that there is statistical evidence that the residuals are not normally distributed.

Testing for Spatial Autocorrelation

The hedonic model is using geographically referenced attributes, hence it is also important for us to visual the residual of the hedonic pricing model.

In order to perform spatial autocorrelation test, we need to convert ‘’condo_resale.sf’ from a simple features data frame to a SpatialPointsDataFrame.

First, we will export the residual of the hedonic pricing model and save it as a data frame and join the newly created data frame with the ‘condo_resales.sf’ object.

Press to toggle code

mlr.output <- as.data.frame(condo.mlr1$residuals)

condo_resale.res.sf <- cbind(condo_resale.sf, 
                        condo.mlr1$residuals) %>%
rename(`MLR_RES` = `condo.mlr1.residuals`)

Next, we will convert ‘condo_resale.res.sf’ from a simple feature object into a SpatialPointsDataFrame because spdep package can only process sp conformed spatial data objects.

Press to toggle code

condo_resale.sp <- as_Spatial(condo_resale.res.sf)

Now we can view the residuals mapped using tmap .

          style="quantile",
          palette = "RdPu") +
  tm_view(set.zoom.limits = c(11,14))

The figure above reveals that there is sign of spatial autocorrelation.

To prove that our observation is indeed true, the Moran’s I test will be performed. To do that we need to create our distance-based weight matrix using dnearneigh().

Press to toggle code

nb <- dnearneigh(coordinates(condo_resale.sp), 
                 0, 
                 1500, 
                 longlat = FALSE)

The Global Moran’s I test for residual spatial autocorrelation shows that it’s p-value is less than 0.00000000000000022 which is less than the alpha value of 0.05. Hence, we will reject the null hypothesis that the residuals are randomly distributed.

Since the Observed Global Moran I = 0.1424418 which is greater than 0, we can infer than the residuals resemble cluster distribution.

Building Adaptive Bandwidth GWR Model

Similar to the earlier section, used bw.ger() to determine the recommended data point to use.

The code chunk below look very similar to the one used to compute the fixed bandwidth except the 'adaptive' argument has changed to “TRUE”.
